NOT MY CAR JUST POSTING

Not too shabby...downside (for se36) is that it's a non-vanos motor and you can do motor swaps.

it's gone!?!?!!

I was under the impression that a non vanos M50 would make a better track engine. Double valve springs and no vanos to fail. It gives up mid range torque to the M50TU but it's all top end.

I'm sure Mike can refute or concur on that.

Damn, done already. :(

Hmmm...

VANOS Power or Not? :dunno

I think I know what Mike would say...

"Do you want your car to feel fast? Or be fast?"

Car's sold, thread close.

I haven't explored SE36 too much but those in the know think the ideal candidate would be a '93-'95 325is because you get the vanos motor and slightly less weight of the coupe. Some even are going with a 328is to get more torque and a new chassis.

If I were to jump in, I'd probably want a '93+ 325i because I think a sedan makes a better race car candidate. The car is stiffer and the sedan seems to have better balance and weight transfer than the coupe.
